Quintus 5,399 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Still need to track down the second season at some point. I watched the first episode of the Cosmos remake on Netflix this evening, on a whim. This might be the nicest Alan Silvestri music I've heard in well over a decade.

nightscape94 965 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Started re-watching Fringe. Already halfway through season 2. A lot of stuff I just didn't remember.

It's sporadically good but not enough for me to ever want to sit through the whole thing again. Those first two seasons with the monster of the week formula were awful. They spent too much time on some things and not enough on others. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more than its references. The characters are well rounded, the setting well developed, and the mythology intriguing. In many ways it actually uses the tropes to subvert them.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Please. Koray is absolutely right, it seems like a battery of writers concocted this without consulting with each other. The monster stuff was dreadful, they should have stayed with the 'Fury's concept of the telekinetic children. 'Subversion' of clichés this certainly wasn't.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Finished S1 of Bloodline, it was most enjoyable. Pretty consistent quality wise, with just a couple of minor occurrences which one could say loosened it up a little overall, but this is still a very fine drama with an excellent cast throughout (Ben Mendelsohn and Kyle Chandler are most noteworthy). We're going to have a break with something else now before beginning the second season, because the slow burn pot boiler style of Bloodline can take a bit of dedication to get through. It is very good at what it does, but I fancy a faster paced alternative for a few weeks. In the meantime I'm still trying to work out if the curious structural choices the writers made perhaps undermined the devastating payoff potential of the story's finale; or it could be that it was a bold and smart move to show the dramatic climax right at the very beginning of the whole thing, in episode one, and then trust in the writing to hook the viewer into wanting to to discover exactly how events reach that terrible point over the following 12 episodes. All told the design made for a thoroughly absorbing family epic. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's not really done in the same style as the films (which all had different styles anyway). It's first and foremost a character study, the plot exists to examine how relationships between the different characters change. And its just bloody cinematic as fuck. Some great cinematography, some really cool shots and scene transitions. And the most hardcore lesbian sex to ever grace network tv in season 3....
